<div>Well, I got done doing a final pass on the issues and I couldn't help but feel very disappointed at what I saw.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Personally, I'm not a republican, I'm not a Democrat, I don't identify with either. I've tried the Libertarian Party, but they have an ideology but no game plan and in fact, their ideology forbids any real game plan.....
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, I have a few choices, continue to call myself an 'independent', and not vote in any primary elections, vote best person for the job come election day......</div>
<div>problem with this, I'm not independent, whatever that means, but I live in a world where I'm increasing more and more inter-dependent on everyone else that lives in the World. I also have very strong convictions, at my core I'm a Technologist and believe that Technology has cured more ills than any Party, Faith, Organized Religion, Country, Army, etc, etc, etc.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This suggests that I'm not an 'independent' voter, but an un-represented voter. The utter lack of technological understanding in our system is utterly ridiculous.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, I have two options, wait for someone to start something, or start something.</div>
<div>I've opting for starting something, and until some else has a better idea, this is where I'm going.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That said, I figured I'd post a note here and see if anyone else was interested in a similar path.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div> </div>
